Bittersweet Memories: Btown Trip

It’s hard for me to upload these pics today… IU lost to Syracuse last night in the Sweet 16. This was supposed to be our year! Even the POTUS picked IU to win it all. But it was a great season, and I’m happy I got to see my Hoosiers in person twice—once at Northwestern and again in Bloomington at the beginning of March (so I’m a little tardy uploading these, obvi). I hadn’t been back to campus in so long; it was GREAT, even just a quick visit. We hit the hot spots: Mother Bear’s, T.I.S., Kilroy’s on Kirkwood, Nick’s, the Square and, of course—and most importantly—Assembly Hall. IU beat Iowa 73-60 (a good win, but it wasn’t our strongest game).

In the back of my mind, I knew we wouldn’t bring home the championship (don’t even get me staaarted), but it’s been a great ride and I’m happy basketball has become a good excuse to get together with fellow Hoosiers here in Chicago. I feel like there’s going to be a void now… what do I watch? Baseball?! I’m so not ready for that…
